Magnetite nanoparticles ($Fe_3O_4$ NPs) were synthesized by co-precipitating method under optimized condition. The $Fe_3O_4$ NPs coated with sodium dodecyl sulfate-thenoyltrifluoroacetone ($Fe_3O_4$ NPs-SDS-TTFA) were then exerted as the magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) adsorbent for the extraction process prior to introducing to a flame atomic adsorption spectrometry (FAAS). The synthesized $Fe_3O_4$ NPs-SDS-TTFA were applied for the extraction of Pb(II) ions from different water samples. The characterization studies of nanoparticles were performed via scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive micro-analysis (SEM-EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The substantial parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were surveyed and optimized. A dynamic linear range (DLR) of $10-400{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ was obtained and the limit of detection (LOD, n=7) and relative standard deviation (RSD%, n= 6, $C=20{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) were found to be $2.3{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ and 1.9%, respectively. According to the results, the proposed method successfully applied for the extraction of Pb(II) ions from different environmental water samples and satisfactory results achieved.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Nps), composed of magnetite, $Fe_3O_4$, or maghemite, ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$, core and biocompatible polymer shell, such as dextran or chitozan, have recently found wide applications in magnetic resonance imaging, contrast enhancement and hyperthermia therapy. For different diagnostic and therapeutic applications, current attempt is focusing on the synthesis and biomedical applications of various ferrite Nps, such as $CoFe_2O_4$ and $MnFe_2O_4$, differing from iron oxide Nps in charge, surface chemistry and magnetic properties. This study is focused on the synthesis of manganese ferrite, $MnFe_2O_4$, Nps by most commonly used chemical way pursuing better control of their size, purity and magnetic properties. Co-precipitation syntheses were performed using aqueous alkaline solutions of Mn(II) and Fe(III) salts and NaOH within a wide pH range using various hydrothermal treatment regimes. Different additives, such as citric acid, cysteine, glicine, polyetylene glycol, triethanolamine, chitosan, etc., were tested on purpose to obtain good yield of pure phase and monodispersed Nps with average size of ${\leq}20nm$. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy down to cryogenic temperatures, magnetic measurements and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were employed in this study.

We have investigated a surfactant-assisted sonochemical approach to produce monodisperse $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles (NPs). The non-ionic surfactant Igepal CO-520 (Poly(oxyethylene)(5) nonylphenyl ether) has been used for the preparation of NPs and the effects on the NP size, size distribution, and magnetic properties have been studied. The $Fe_3O_4$ NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The results reveal that the NPs prepared by a Igepal CO-520-assisted sonochemical method exhibit a narrow range of size distributions and a high monodispersity compared to the NPs from the conventional sonochemical method. The analysis of NPs prepared in the presence of the surfactant suggested that it could be used not only as a protector to prevent the oxidation of Fe (II), but also as a controller to vary the size of the NPs.

천연 고분자 이중 네트워크를 기반으로 하는 하이드로젤은 뛰어난 생체 적합성, 낮은 세포 독성, 높은 함수율을 가져 다양한 의학 분야 재료로서 우수한 성능을 가지며 생체 조직 내 표적 약물 전달 시스템에의 응용에도 많은 주목을 받고 있지만 상대적으로 약한 기계적 물성에 의한 한계를 가진다. 본 연구에서는 천연 고분자 산화 알지네이트(alginate di-aldehyde, ADA)와 젤라틴(gelatin)이 형성하는 이중 네트워크 기반의 하이드로젤을 합성하였으며 하이드로젤 내부의 기능기와 수소 결합을 할 수 있는 다량의 수산기(-OH) 기능기를 가지는 과분지 고분자(hyperbranched polyglycerol, HPG)를 0~25%의 범위로 조절하여 첨가하여 최종적으로 기계적 물성이 향상된 천연 고분자 기반 하이드로젤을 합성하였다. 또한, 자철석 나노 입자(Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs))를 하이드로젤 내부에 in-situ 방법으로 합성하여 자성이 부여된 천연고분자 하이드로젤의 제조 및 특성 분석을 진행하였다. 결과적으로 Fe₃O₄ NPs를 도입한 15% HPG 함량의 하이드로젤은 3.8 emu g^-1의 포화자화 값을 가지는 초상자성을 보였고, 변형률 67.4%에서 최대 압축 강도 1.1 MPa으로 높은 기계적 물성을 가졌다. 향상된 기계적 물성을 가지는 천연 고분자 기반의 초상자성 하이드로젤은 약물 전달 시스템 및 생체 재료에 매우 중요한 잠재적 용도가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
